Back Again

It has been a really long time since I have been
around. Life has had a few twists and
turns and I made a conscious decision to not blog. Blogging takes energy and there were other
areas of life that needed my energy.

In June the hubs lost his job and we have valiantly been
seeking for new employment. Just this
week he has started a temp job that will last through the end of March. We are grateful for a job, even if it is
temporary.

Had I blogged, I could have written about the dozens of
applications and interviews that hubs has done, or cleaning out every closet
and nook and cranny in preparation for a move to a house half the size of our
current house. I could have written
tales of how the garden produced, or lack thereof. I could have written about what it is like to
be able to run to the store with out kids in the middle of the day (awesome!).

I could have written about our rental home, where the
renters have called me a dozen times since they moved in: a leaking toilet, a broken
sprinkler head, AC not working to their likes (super cold on 100+ days!), a broken
sprinkler system, outlets not working, broken dishwasher and drum roll please….
a broken pipe leaking water all over the place. No biggies, just few bumps in the road!

The renters called last week and didn’t leave a message, I fear to
know what they wanted. We have never had
so many troubles with our house until this family moved in. Most of the calls were legit, but some were
not necessary. Not the best timing since we have been unemployed the duration
of their lease.

My hopes are to do some blogging and a little bit of
catching up! I am getting excited for
Christmas, but I shouldn’t be too excited because we aren’t even going to
decorate and we are preparing to move on December 15th. I suppose the spirit of Christmas is the same
no matter the craziness life and how you choose to celebrate it.

I am sorry to hear about all of the craziness. I am glad you were able to take some time to focus on your family and other things. I'm glad to hear your hubby got a job. I hope things start turning around and hopefully he will be able to find a permanent job shortly thereafter. I can only imagine how trying the past few months have been. Good luck with your move. Thanks for keeping us updated.
